Senior MLOps Engineer with ML/AI for Azure

Svitla Systems Inc. is looking for a Senior MLOps Engineer with ML/AI for Azure for a full-time position (40 hours per week) in Ukraine. Our client is a leading global provider that gathers information and reports to enhance the environmental and social impacts on the business.

You’ll be part of a global team supporting multiple SaaS environments that help make the world a safer place. The team uses Azure as the core, but hosts on various platforms due to specific needs and the rapid pace of development and acquisition. The environment is rapidly shifting from IaaS to PaaS to serverless, with new AI/ML components integrated. So you’ll need to apply your current skill sets and learn new things daily to push the business forward. While you’ll ultimately need a diversity of expert-level skills to succeed, having a deep understanding and experience in just a couple of areas (monitoring, scripting, automation tools, etc.) may get you in the door to a great career.
